Question for the Titans fans,how much confidence do you have in VY as a starter?

If he came off the bench if Kerry got hurt I would not be worried because teams wouldnt be ready for him. If he came in as the starter heading into the game however.....Im just not sure. I want him to do well, we all do, but he has shown us nothing as a starter.

A lot more confidence then I have in Kerry Collins at this time. I was one of the minority on this board in drafting VY (I was also a fan of Leinart instead of Cutler, so look at that lol). I would like him to be a starter just because he has shown he could win games when it comes down to the QB making plays. These past couple of games, Collins hasn't shown that. He has actually cost us games versus Houston and New York. In terms of decision making, of course VY is going to be a bit (if not more) worse then Kerry. But in terms of game breaking ability, VY takes that hands down.

i'm basically in total agreement and was a huge fan of his coming out of texas, but honestly i'm foaming at the mouth about our chances at getting jake locker, if you watch this guy 2 years ago he was VY make 1 read maybe 2 then take off(which he is very good at) but watch him now and he is legit pocket passer but if he tucks it he is a real threat and beast STUD

Are you talking about Locker?

I think VY has progressed as a passer. During his time in preseason, his footwork was much better, he had more zip as a result, and his passes were to spots on the field where the receiver was going to be rather than where they were. Plus, and maybe most importantly, it looked like he had his swagger back and was enjoying himself.

Is he as efficient of a passer as Collins? No, not yet. But consider the talent around Collins compared to Young's 2007 season. Young had no Chris Johnson, no Nate Washington, no Kenny Britt, no Crumpler and Scaife wasn't the player he now is, and the defense was deeper and better in '08 than it was in '07. And the return game and field position that Chris Carr produced was invaluable. Who was the returner in '07? Griffin? Chris Davis? Heck, even Chris Henry returned kicks. The result of that is now a highlight clip for the Colts.

I've never really been a big Collins fan and have always been somewhat of a VY apologist. But, Collins was the QB who was best for the team last season, and I think VY being out a season could have possibly saved his career. I still believe he's the planned QB of the future. He was the guy I wanted the Titans to get, and I saw how special of a player he was when he put Texas on his back and won them a championship. As a rookie, I saw that same player orchestrate one of the most memorable regular seasons I've ever seen the Titans have. I still think he's the same player. The NFL just caught up to him, he wasn't ready and tried to do too much, and things started snowballing for him. After sitting for a season, I think it's been a blessing in disguise and has allowed him to catch back up to this level of competition. Not to mention, he's been able to sit and learn Heimerdinger's system (which I like better than Chow's) and didn't have to learn it on the fly. He needed a year to sit, and he's had that.

If Young were to come in to play, I have confidence in him. I think by him being in there, it raises the level of play of the others around him and raises the intensity of the defense. He knows the system, is a better passer, and has talent around him that is much better than what he used to. I think 2010 is the year of Vince Young, though, and believe that Kenny Britt in his sophomore season will be a big part of it.
